Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Ames By Ihg, Ames (IA) - Deals & Reviews

I encountered a few issues during my stay, such as the air conditioning being broken, which led to some discomfort. The pool was closed part of the time due to chemical imbalances, and the carpets in my room could use a deep clean, showing signs of wear that detracted from the overall experience. Additionally, the high beds posed challenges for shorter guests, suggesting the need for accessible options.

i had a previous stay in ames, and holiday inn express exceeded my expectations during this budget stay. the cleanliness of the rooms and the comfort of the beds stood out, making it a homey environment. breakfast options were delicious, and the staff, especially at the front desk, were attentive and welcoming.

the air conditioning was broken during my stay.

The breakfast made mornings enjoyable with a delightful variety, and the staff, especially Grandma Patty, created a warm atmosphere that felt like home. The rooms were well-kept and comfortable.

However, there were no housekeeping services during our stay, which was a bit challenging. I wished for a hot tub to unwind after a long day, and access to some USB charging ports would have been handy.

wow, just wow. the beds were less than ideal, my mom struggled climbing like it was mount everest. the housekeeping? nonexistent, simply absurd. and after such a traumatic experience, i thought surely a complimentary gesture would appear. but no, just average service here. i almost thought about giving a decent review, but just couldn’t!

pool that my kids enjoyed thoroughly. It's well-maintained and has ample towels available. The room was very comfortable with practical features like a fridge and microwave, making our stay even better. Just wish check-in had been smoother, but overall, a good experience.

Consider requesting a room on a lower floor if mobility is a concern, as elevator issues could arise during your stay.

I had a comfortable stay. The breakfast was good, and I especially liked the egg white omelets. The staff was friendly, and one worker stood out for being welcoming and helpful in the breakfast area. I appreciated the spacious desk and chair setup in my room, which made working easier. I traveled alone from New York for a short getaway. This experience met my needs well.

if only I could say that this place was anything other than disappointing. The beds were ridiculously high and no housekeeping showed up during our stay! It's downright absurd that as a guest, I didn't even receive a tiny gesture for the inconvenience. So much for supposed comfortable stays, right?

Had an awesome time with friends! We loved the LifeFitness equipment, especially the elastic bands. We also checked out Veenker Memorial Golf Course and Otter Creek Golf Course. The breakfast was well-maintained with good options. Polite staff made our stay even better! I recommend this place for a group visit.

One downside was that the air conditioning was broken during our stay, which was a bit uncomfortable at times.

Had a fantastic stay with friends! We enjoyed the indoor pool and checked out the Veenker Memorial Golf Course. The hotel had awesome LifeFitness equipment, including elastic bands.

One issue we faced was during check-in. The credit card machine was down, which caused a bit of delay and confusion in the morning.

Comfortable room with good air conditioning. enjoyed the indoor pool. Wi-Fi was spotty.

the pool was closed for part of our stay, which was a bummer! but the breakfast was great with a variety of options, my kids loved it! the room had actual shampoo bottles, not those mini ones, and it was super comfy!

Clean indoor pool, but Wi-Fi was spotty during my stay.

The room was comfy, with a fridge and microwave—perfect for our little family.

But the pool had more rules than a fancy dinner party, and the hotel rates were so high I half expected a crown with my keycard!
